Three Amazing Sandwich Recipes

If you’re a regular reader, you may have caught on to the fact that Camille loves salads — she eats one for lunch most days of the work week, and is usually really, really excited about them. Typically, I’d make fun of her disproportionate salad enthusiasm, but to be totally honest, I’m the same way with my […]

10 Best Apple Cocktail Recipes

With the anticipation of autumn looming in the air (and in our wardrobes… and our pantries…), we can’t stop dreaming of cooler weather and everything that comes with it. Just the thought of homemade apple pie, caramel dipped apples and piping hot cider makes me giddy for my favorite season of the year, and what better way to […]

Back-to-School Snack Ideas

Phoebe starts pre-school this Thursday. It’s only a couple mornings a week, but it already feels so surreal watching her try on her new backpack and adjust her pigtails as she gets ready to join the ranks of the “big kids.” How did 2-years-old come so quickly? Along with preschool comes another new milestone: school snacks! Such a […]

Bottoms Up :: Tomatillo Cucumber Cocktail

What better way to jazz up a Monday than with a tequila cocktail kicked up with jalapeño and (surprise!) tomatillos? I was super proud of my friend, blogger/artist/consultant Meg Biram (little known fact: she was one of my college besties!) when she told me she’d started subscribing to a CSA basket, since back in our college […]

From Camille’s Kitchen :: Golden Beet & Cherry Salad

While I eat my fare share of salads all year around, they really shine when summer produce reaches its peak and I can choose from the bounty of sweet melons, heirloom tomatoes and an abundance of herbs at the market — often, a squeeze of lemon, drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground […]

How to Cook With Your Kids

When I was pregnant, I read the book Bringing Up Bébé about the benefits of the French parenting style. In one scene, the author recounts an experience where she watched one of her friends bake a cake with her 3-year-old daughter — a relaxing weekend tradition that is de rigueur in many French households. Ever since, I’ve carried around a […]

10 Best Summer Tomato Recipes

To-may-to, To-mah-to! If you haven’t guessed from the dozens of recipes popping up in your Pinterest feed, it’s officially tomato season. I love buying local produce when I can, and the farm fresh tomatoes spilling over grocery and farmer’s market shelves (in a mouthwatering array of colors) makes it pretty easy this time of year. When you […]

Morning Meals :: Savory Breakfast Tartine

I truly love a savory breakfast — it’s no secret that I always love an avocado toast (like this one!), and I’ve been wanting to share my favorite “breakfast salad” recipe on here for a while. But the produce lately has been so gorgeous, I thought I’d set aside my avocado toast for something a little more […]

How to Setup the Perfect Bagel Bar

The build-your-own bagel bar at our bachelorette brunch from this morning was such a major hit, I wondered why I hadn’t done this setup at countless gatherings before. It couldn’t have been simpler to put together, required zero cooking time (a major plus when the weather’s as hot as it is in Austin right now), […]

From Camille’s Kitchen :: Bruschetta with Carrot Pesto

Before we dive into today’s recipe, do y’all mind if I ask a quick favor? Forbes is currently accepting nominations for their annual list of the 100 Best Websites for Women, and it would be such a personal dream to show up on it. If you feel so inclined, would you mind taking a moment […]

Bottoms Up :: Watermelon Sangria

Every year, I always seem to end up with one signature drink of summer that I master and then make for just about every party of the season. It usually has a few defining qualities: a propensity to be made in large batches, requires only a handful of easy-to-find ingredients, and at least a little […]

What’s On Hand :: Deana Saukam

It could be the Texas heat, but foodie Deana Saukam places the utmost importance on proper hydration. “I probably drink AT LEAST a gallon of water a day,” she says. “I think I was a fish in my past life. Or a mermaid.” Maybe so, but in this life Deana is the PR/Media/Events Director for […]

Morning Meals :: Creamy Cracked Oats with Blackberry Compote

Oatmeal is usually a quick weekday breakfast option, but it can be a lot more than that.  To do it right, opt for steel cut oats and a simple and luxe fruit compote.  It’s Summer and that means the the produce is crazily bountiful right now.  So, get creative with the compote and try it […]
